The fun officially started at the new Komoka Youth Centre with a ribbon-cutting and grand opening event on September 13, 2024!

Middlesex Centre is pleased to be receiving a $492,715 investment from Ontario's Housing-Enabling Water Systems Fund as part of the province’s efforts to help municipalities develop, repair, and expand water, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure.

This funding will support Middlesex Centre in twinning the Glendon Drive Watermain, improving the availability and reliability of municipal water services in the community of Kilworth

Late summer road work is wrapping up, with the completion of bridge work on Medway Rd. and tar and chip resurfacing across the municipality.

Fall projects getting underway include reconstruction of the bridge on Coldstream Rd. between Oxbow Dr. and Melrose Dr. and culvert replacements on New Ontario Rd., Ivan Dr., 13 Mile Rd. and Lamont Dr.

In response to traffic concerns associated with the Glendon Dr. roundabout construction, staff have installed traffic calming measures including centre-line markers and speed radar trailers on the detour route. Please slow down, obey all traffic signs, and use extra care along detours. As a reminder, businesses in the construction area are open for business. #SupportLocal!

Starting your fall outdoor clean up and wondering what to do with your yard waste?

Middlesex Centre accepts residential yard waste free-of-charge at our EnviroDepots. The depots are located at 23053 Denfield Rd. and 10191 Longwoods Rd. They operate Saturdays from 9am to 1pm, until November 23.

Plant materials, brush, grass clippings and leaves can be brought to the depots. Branches must be less than 1 m in length and less than 10 cm in diameter. All items must be loose or in paper bags – no plastic bags are accepted.

We're looking for residents to volunteer their homes to test for lead in the municipality's drinking water system. This is routine testing to ensure the safety of our municipal water system.

The test takes about 5 minutes plus some prep time and uses less than 50 litres of water. Residents and businesses are welcome to volunteer more than once.

Notice something new in the Ilderton skyline?

In the summer of 2024, Middlesex Centre repainted the iconic barn at Ilderton's Heritage Park. As part of that face-lift, Middlesex Centre engaged the community in designing a barn quilt for the side of the building.

Installed this week, the new quilt captures the spirit of Ilderton, celebrating its natural beauty, cultural richness and enduring community bonds.

We hope you and your family will join us on the ice at the Komoka Wellness Centre and the Ilderton Arena.

Thanks to local sponsors, we are offering free public skating on select dates throughout the year! Watch for updates on social media or visit our website for a complete list of sponsored skating dates.
